About: I have loved and cared for many types of animals for most of my life. I grew up with a Boxer, a bunny, 2 cats, and a parrot. My family always adopted fur friends that needed our love. Later, I would gravitate towards professions that were heavily animal centered, from equine handling and care, general farm animal care, and even exotic animals such as reptiles (lizards, snakes, tortoises, etc) and birds. My last long term work was an animal handler in a learning environment where I could educate kids in an up close setting where they could interact with animals and learn how important they are to us all. I know CPR for both Large and Small breeds and am knowledgeable in administering medications. I look forward to meeting your cat or dog, and will give them all the love and care they would get from you. Please, feel free to reach out with any questions, I'd be happy to help. I am currently taking time off of work and would love to fill my days spending time with your fur baby. I love taking walks and playing fetch, or just a leasuirly stroll to sniff around the neighborhood, whichever your pet prefers. I live in a quiet neighborhood with no thru traffic. There aren't fences, so dogs will be kept on leash while outside. There is plenty of space for long calm walks and large grassy areas for a good leg stretch. There are also dog parks around my area we can drive to for some off-leash fun, or, some quiet trails to enjoy. If you have certain preferences or routines for your pet that you would like me to follow I am all the more happy. While staying in your home I am capable of following whatever routines you have set for potty breaks, meals, brushing, etc. And please feel free to ask me anything.

“We are so glad we booked with Samantha. You can tell she really cares for animals. She visited our 2 cats during our vacation and checked in with us each time with photos. She is very communicative and shared pictures of each visit. We will continue using her in the future!”

“Diane was excellent with our two cats! She was very responsive, incredibly thorough, and completely professional. She sent us updates and kept us informed of how the cats were doing during our time away. I would recommend Diane to anyone!”

About: My background includes watching my family dog since I was 11, and watching and walking my sisters’ dog. I can work with dogs of any temperament, and have experience with lots of rescue dogs! I love to dog walk, so I would be happy to drop by for walks with your dog(s)! I am working part-time this summer. I am available most weekdays, but I do not have a solid weekend schedule. If you communicate with me, I can send you my schedule for the week! I have a fenced yard at my house and lots of parks nearby for activities, but I can also come to your area! I also know how to use a crate if needed. Please let me know what your dog’s individual needs are (schedule for feeding, walking, or any important things to know), and I will make sure to care for them like my own!

About: Growing up, we always had dogs and cats, gerbils and fish. I learned the responsibility of having a pet at a very young age. I, also, realize that our pets are sometimes closer to us than our own family. Pets are sources of unconditional love and stress relief. As a pet sitter and a pet owner, my pets and your pets will always receive the best care. I always think about the fact that, when you go away or leave for a period of time, it may be confusing to your pet, since you can't really explain to them that you are coming back. I am cognizant of this fact and offer the most caring and gentle approach to pet care, as your pet may be confused as to where you are. I will make sure their experience is not only fun, but also safe and caring. As a mortgage professional, I am currently working from home, so your dog will well taken care of. As a mom of a 6 year old, I am home all day and night, so your dog will have lots of attention and walks. We have a front yard that is semi-fenced and a back patio that is completely fenced in. I love being outside in nature, so long walks and hiking trails are always on the agenda, if it fits in with your pet needs.

“Kathalin took excellent care of our pup! She was kind and a great communicator- we will definitely work with her again!”

About: I grew up with a sweet black lab who taught me just how special the bond between people and pets can be. Since graduating college, I’ve been dog sitting and walking for pups around my town, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. What sets me apart is my calm, caring approach and genuine love for animals. I make it a priority to learn each dog’s routine and preferences so they feel comfortable, safe, and happy—whether we’re on a walk, snuggling on the couch, or sticking to a medication schedule. I have experience with: Senior dogs who need a slower pace and a little extra TLC Energetic dogs who need structured walks and play Basic training reinforcement (sit, stay, leash manners) I'm dependable, communicative, and always ready to treat your dog like family! I’m currently taking online graduate courses at Gordon College, which gives me a very flexible schedule throughout the week. Since I can work from home and set my own hours, I’m able to dedicate time during the day for walks, drop-ins, or extended stays—whatever your pet needs. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday check-in, or overnight care, I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pet feels loved and cared for while you’re away. I currently live with my parents, so I only offer pet care in my clients’ homes. This allows your pet to stay in their familiar environment, which helps reduce stress and keeps them feeling safe and comfortable. I always follow any house instructions you provide—whether it’s feeding schedules, walk routines, or special care details—and I do my best to keep everything just the way you left it. I’m respectful of your space, attentive to your pet’s needs, and committed to keeping them happy, healthy, and secure while you're away.

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was a little girl. My love for animals made me the first person my neighbors, family, and friends would call when they needed pet care. I have experience with dogs of all different shapes, sizes, and ages. This will be my top priority this summer! My schedule will be very flexible, so we can work out any details. I hope your dog loves to cuddle! I prefer to take care of pets in the clients home, but I will care for small dogs in my apartment if needed. I find that large dogs don’t love my small apartment, and most dogs generally feel more comfortable within their own home.

“Awesome”
